#3 – When you Arrive...

DO NOT BE LATE! Show up at least an hour in advance of your tee time!

Always be upbeat and have a fun attitude from the moment you meet your golfer/ client.

Remember, being a caddy for your golfer makes YOU responsible for his/ her golf equipment.

If riding, load the clubs onto the golf cart,
If using a pull cart, put them on the pull cart

A yardage book is an extremely useful tool on behalf of the golfer. You can usually find them at the golf course pro shop.

Turn off your cell phone, pager, etc.

Keep his or her golf clubs, golf balls and grips clean

Fill out your yardage guide by asking him how far he hits each club. This will help you know about what club your golfer will be wanting on their next shot

# 4 During the Round

Support your golfer's game play. DO NOT laugh too much if he/ she makes a bad shot.

Make sure to replace/fill his divots he takes

Raking the sand traps is definitely a plus

KEEP UP THE PACE OF PLAY.

Help with holding the flagstick when needed

Offer your golfer a hydrating beverage (e.g. bottled water)

Keep your golfer's grips and clubs DRY, and prevent them from getting wet

Make sure that his clubs are put away into his locker or into his car.
If you leave the clubs out in front of the clubhouse, they may get stolen.
You are responsible for the players' bag from the moment you first touch it,
to the moment it is put away. Always be aware of this.

Thank the golfer and ask for his feedback.
Ask if there was anything you could do to improve your caddy services

The golfer will pay you your rate for the hours of play or by the round (which you have already specified on your profile)

Although tips are not required, accept it graciously with a "thank you"
if your golfer hands you one.
